Starting point is 00:00:43 and comics and TV shows. My name is James, also known as Mr Sunday and with me as always is my very special guest host, Austin Powers. Hey baby, it's groovy to be here. Thanks, Austin. You seem like you've lost your mojo. Yeah, Dr. Evil. He went back in time and took my mojo again. Did he really? Yeah, that's right. Again? Again, yeah. Evil, he went back in time and took my mojo again. Did he really? Yeah, that's right. Again.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Again, yeah. I'm assuming that you're saying Austin Powers 3s in canon? Yeah, man. Like that's already happened. Yeah, so two he took your mojo. Oh, that was two, okay. Three something else, gold member. Met my dad.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. Well, those in this context, like you're not meeting me during Austin Powers 2. I'm meeting you between. No, you're meeting me after Austin Powers 3, I imagine. Okay, okay. Well those in this context like you're not meeting me during Austin Powers 2. I'm meeting you between. No, you're meeting me after Austin Powers 3 I imagine. Okay, great. So in this case, yes, Dr. Evil has taken my mojo again, which is why I'm not as groovy as I could be. Is this going to be the plot of Austin Powers 4 or that be a different movie? Dr. Evil steals my mojo and then I go on a podcast and talk about it and I'm kind of like just kind
Starting point is 00:01:44 of very... Yeah, matter of fact. Just matter of fact about it. Yeah I'm kind of like just kind of very- Yeah, matter of fact. Just matter of fact about it. Yeah, okay, that could be the plot. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I mean, couldn't be any worse than, sorry to step over you there. No, no, you're right.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Couldn't be any worse than any other idea they probably have for it. Yeah, I was just thinking though, because I don't know if you remember the events of Austin Palace, too. You probably do, because you're in it, but your mojo was in you the whole time. So do you think that maybe that's what's gonna, but your mojo was in you the whole time.
Starting point is 00:02:05 So do you think that maybe that's what's going to happen here? What was that fluid they extracted from me then? I honestly don't know. What did they do with it afterwards? I think I know somebody drank it. Dr. Evil drank it. And did he get my mojo? Yeah, I think for a little bit at least.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I don't really remember because that happened in the 60s or the early 2000s. I think it was 99. I see what you're saying. Yeah, it's interesting though. It's something to think about. Yeah. But yeah, see what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting though. It's something to think about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah. Great. Thanks for stopping by, Austin. Anyway, stay shagadelic. You too, man. Thanks, man. So Nick Mason. Oh, hey, I'm late.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I'm late to the podcast. Don't worry about what happened. I'm glad you're here. Good. So it doesn't matter to me what happens at the start of the podcast. I should rock up late all the time. Clearly you've filled enough time. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:02:48 There's always somebody here. That's what I figured. Yeah, there's always somebody just waiting around to be on a podcast. Now that's a big week because of course me and you are going to be talking Jurassic World Rebirth. That's right. Which is exciting, isn't it? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:00 It's shagadelic. What? What? What did you say? I didn't say that. Say what? Shagadelic. Are you saying this movie is shagadelic?
Starting point is 00:03:09 You said it's shagadelic. I haven't said anything. Also, talking the death of a couple actors, very unfortunate. There's time goes above, you know, skip to anything. We got some negative reviews for Superman at the gate that have snuck out. Oh no. Let's research those reviewers and damage their credibility. Yes. And harass them and so forth. We're gonna talk about Paul Walker returning to the
Starting point is 00:03:33 Fast and Furious franchise. Interesting. Yeah very interesting. We're gonna talk about a confirmed director for X-Men the movie X-Men. Whoa. We're gonna talk what happened to all those blade costumes from the MCU Blade reboot. We're going to talk about Disney deciding to potentially reboot Indiana Jones, the trailers for Project Hail Mary, The Running Man and The Odyssey. Plus of course, some updates on The Last of Us Season 3. We've had some big names leaving Mason. Big Last of Us names. Again, thank you to Rob. Pedro Pascale? Is he leaving in Season 3? Interesting. It's not an actor. Let's put it that way, Mason. The character of Joel? Is he leaving?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Joel's leaving. Wow, okay. He certainly makes an exit at some point. Very interesting. Yeah. Let's start with this, Mason. We should get him on the podcast. I agree. an exit at some point. Very interesting. Yeah. Let's start with this Mason. We should get him on the podcast. I agree. We should get him on. Yeah. So Michael Madsen has passed away at age 67. That's young.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah. He apparently went into cardiac arrest and was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu. People of course would know him from Reservoir Dogs, Hateful Eight, Kill Bill, Sin City, Donnie Brasco and a bunch of other stuff he did in between that might not be as good as those things. That could be straight to DVD or streaming all the time. Yeah, but he was always working, you know. That's right, exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And put in some great performances. I mean, people obviously remember that scene in Reservoir Dogs where he cut off that dude's ear. It's pretty fucked up. Yep. He shouldn't have done it. He had a bit of a troubled personal life, not to get into the specifics, but you know, with like alcoholism
Starting point is 00:05:06 and all of that. I don't know whether that's related to this. Apparently it's a non-suspicious circumstance. He appears to have died of- Seven kids. Whoa. Yeah, right. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:18 But no, I mean, some great stuff on the screen. I would say his role in Kill Bill, tremendous. Yeah, great. So there you go. That sucks. And speaking of Julian McMahon passed away at age 56, Australia's own. Australia's own Julian McMahon. 56.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah. Dang. So this was a statement from his wife who said, with an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband Julian McMahon died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer. Julian loved life. He loved his family, loved his friends. he loved his friends, he loved his work, and he loved his fans.
Starting point is 00:05:47 His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those whom Julian brought joy to continue to find joy in life, we are grateful for the memories. Of course, people would know him from Charmed, Nip Tuck, which ran for a number of years, and he was Dr. Doom a couple of times. Yeah, he was also in the show Runaways, which is another Marvel project. Oh, what was he in that? Says Jonah.
Starting point is 00:06:12 One of the villains maybe or something? Probably, he's probably one of the parents. Probably one of the parents or villains or whatever. So yeah, I think he was just in that Nicolas Cage Surfer movie recently as well. Yeah, he was, that's true, yeah. And he was also the son of a Prime Minister. That is true. That part is also true. So there you go. to start off the week in on such a negative note Yeah, I also passed away recently Peter David who is the Marvel writer?
Starting point is 00:06:34 Been longtime run on the Hulk. Yeah, all the interesting backstory of the Hulk you see in the movies. Yep Yeah, yeah, that's right. He wrote all that all the kind of the you know, the familial stuff He also created spider-man 2099. Oh did he yeah, that's good. And Jim shooter passed away this way Oh, yeah, it was one of the one of the editors-in-chief for Marvel for a long time. He was a controversial figure but also, you know, he was one of those people who was in favor of creators rights And yes, you know getting people paid for the stuff they created, which would have been nice for someone like Peter David who did all that stuff for the Hulk and created Spider-Man 2099.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Yeah. And now he's in movies and stuff. Yeah, now he's in movies and stuff. Yeah, absolutely. That's right. Damn, there you go, man. Here is an internal memo from Jim Shooter to the Marvel staff. I don't have the date here, it just
Starting point is 00:07:25 says October, but it says, effective immediately start doing good comics. I realize that this directive reflects a substantial departure from previous company policy, but please try to comply, Jim Shooter. I mean, it's a good point. Do good comics. And he got them good. And he got them good right there. He rinsed those bikes, didn't he? I say bikes because it was probably all blokes. It was almost all blokes, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Now, of course, next week's episode, which might be a little bit late, depending on when we get a chance to record, it's big Superman time. It's big Superman time. Superman's back and everyone's excited for Superman. There's billboards, there's marquettes, there's interviews. What was that last one? Marquettes. What's that?
Starting point is 00:08:02 It's like a thing. There's markets, there's a marketplace. Okay. There's all sorts of things you can get. You can get a costume if you want. You can get a haircut that looks like any of the actors in the movie. What are you talking about? I'm just saying it's the hype. The hype is high. So what you're saying is one of the options, if you are hyped about the movie Superman, is to get a haircut reminiscentcent of one of the act any of them any of them Okay, you probably want to pick someone who's probably could do the closest thing to you sure okay, right? I got crazy like if you have very short hair for example Perhaps don't try to emulate the hairstyle of lowest line exactly because she did extensions of yeah
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, yeah, but um that's up to you. That's your business So you're saying people are getting hyped people getting hot Mason, but there has been a couple of reviews which snuck out early. One from the Daily Beast. Oh, probably jealous of the Daily Planet. Is some and the Weekly Planet. Agreed. Great podcast. So that's right. That's where the name comes from.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah, that's right. So I saw some people saw that in the Facebook group. That happens every now and then. Don't feel bad if you didn't recognize it. I didn't notice. So don't worry about it. So, uh, if you did notice that's Shag recognize it. I didn't notice. So don't worry about it. So uh. And if you did notice, that's shagadelic. Yeah it is.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Is it? Yeah you said it. I didn't. I mean it is. But I didn't say it. But it is shagadelic. Yeah. There it is.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You seem like you've drunk somebody's mojo. I don't know specifically who, but something's going on here. Maybe I just had mojo all the whole time. Somebody's warm body temperature mojo. Maybe I just had mojo within me all the whole time. I don't think so, man. Wow. I've never seen you this animated.
Starting point is 00:09:30 So here's some excerpts. Excerpts? No. Here's something. The first one was closer to being correct. Here's something. Okay, here's something. That's exciting.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Here's some words from it. Saturday morning cartoon. Uh-oh. Overst cartoon. Overstuffed. Overstuffed. A wash in over the top CGI insanity. Endless geekiness. Feigning interest in actual emotion. Superman gets tangled up in fanciful nonsense that soon renders the entire affair superficial
Starting point is 00:09:57 and silly. Imagine Superman getting tangled up in superficial nonsense. Maybe he does. Maybe he's rescuing cats and possums and stuff. Sure. You know what I mean? I wouldn't say this is like kind of swayed me either way. I don't think it's going to be universally loved because I think there's going to be
Starting point is 00:10:12 people who want something more serious. Yeah. And whatever. And I don't think this is necessarily going to be it. Also, I don't know if any of these reviews are the one that I'm thinking of, but somebody tracked down one of these reviewers that did a negative Superman review and they also gave a negative review to sinners. Oh yeah, that's a bad movie though.
Starting point is 00:10:29 So that's an easy thing to do. That's right. Uh huh. Yeah. I mean, look, yeah, that doesn't, who knows man? Well, Mike Ryan also, he went on Twitter and he said, I'm going to get in trouble for this, but that leaked review, good God, I couldn't disagree more. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I kind of, again, I don't think it's going to be universally praised. We'll find out this week. I'm very excited. And look, maybe, you know, obviously they can have that opinion and you can't say their opinion is wrong. Maybe that, like you said, they're looking for something that the movie doesn't provide. Yeah. But also, there are all, there are, when a movie comes out on this scale, there is always somebody who's like, hey, I'm going to come out first and I'm going to say this and everybody's going to look at me. I don't know. Maybe it'll be us. I think the leak is not an accident. I think it is an accident, sorry. And even I look at this counter thing that's like, I'm going to get in trouble with this or whatever,
Starting point is 00:11:19 but I don't know how much of this is PR and I don't know, man. You think PR has leaked a bad review? No, no, a good review. Oh, I see. Yeah. I don't know. But it's just hard to say because I know that studios, it's been said that they like leak things to see if power people respond to casting or whatever or certain whatever it goes.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's why everyone's talking about Tom Holland as Bond and they're loving it. Bond Holland. Yep. They should do it. I think we've got to work. If he's going Holland as Bond, and they're loving it. Bond Holland. Yep. They should do it. I think we've got to work, if he's going to be, if he's going to be Bond, we've got to- Tiny James Bond. I guess we could do Tiny James Bond, but we need it.
Starting point is 00:11:52 We need an awkward play on his name. We'll workshop it. Tom Bond is good. Tom Bond-Land? James Tom? James Tom works. Cause that means nothing to anybody. But if we just could refer to him as James Tom, that's great. Cause here in James Tom news we could say people are like and then we provide no other context. Yeah, I think that's good
Starting point is 00:12:10 All right. Well, I can't wait this rewards loyal listeners. Yeah and Alienates the new listeners. That's what we want. That's perfect. Yeah, or anybody who's I guess just heard this part of the podcast Yeah, we refer to him as James Tom? James Tom is good. Yeah, to just more streamline. I agree. Yeah, yeah. Slick. Yeah. Yeah. And then only one of the only one of the names is a real name. Plus there's only one of them, isn't there? That's true. It's not James Bond. No, it's not. It's not plural. It's James Bond. So it's James Tom. There's just the one. Yes. How are you feeling about Superman? Are you optimistic? I'm optimistic. Like a Superman might be. Yes. Are you worried it's going to be a big crap? I'm not worried it's going to be a big crap. I don't think, no. No. And I watched the trailer just earlier. It was in cinemas when you saw Jurassic World Rebirth? It was in cinemas. It's
Starting point is 00:12:57 not the one that prominently features Krypto, which I think is kind of a mistake. I think people are loving Krypto, the super dog they should be he should be in more of these trailers James gun took out a scene where somebody punched that dog as well. Oh, yeah, that's what I like to have seen that It's not a real dog. Yeah, and yeah, then it's it's got super power. That's fine. Yeah, you can punch it exactly He'll punch you back later. Yeah, it's all the more satisfying when he punches you back. That's right dog punch Yeah, there was a little a little Promo scene. I don't know if you saw this I saw it on Twitter It was I think it's maybe a trailer released in Korea or something like that, but it had Lois Lane and mr
Starting point is 00:13:33 Terrific at mr. Terrific garage where he's no I'm getting in they're getting in his ufo cool It's a bit of fun. Yeah a bit of fun I think it's gonna be a lot of comic book nonsense, which I like and all therefore. Well, we recently read. Of course. It's not out yet, I don't think, but we read All Star Superman. No, it'll be out now. Okay. We read for the Big Sandwich Classic Comic Book Club, which is our classy comic book review podcast. We read...
Starting point is 00:13:55 Come on by. That's what you say. I do say that. It'll be shagadelic. That's what I always say. That's what I say. Oh, interesting. We talked about All Star Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Whiteley. Yeah. Terrific stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:09 It's amazing. Well worth a look. And I think there's going to be a lot of that in this, I think. Yeah, I agree. I'm looking for silly, colourful nonsense, really. But heart. But heart. Yeah, and somebody punching a dog so the dog can punch you.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Someone punching a dog. Yeah, man, cool. Wow. You know what? I'm after somebody punching a dog with no consequences. You can just do that. Yeah, or somebody punches the dog and then it's heavily implied in the post credits the dog will get revenge and in the post credits he doesn't get revenge.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Dog revenge. Just, you know. I'm with you. Now, did you attend Fuel Fest over the weekend, which is an automobile festival organized by poor workers brother Cody and Tyrus Gibson? I didn't attend that, no. You didn't? I didn't.
Starting point is 00:14:50 That must be the first time for you not to attend this, maybe. Well, my shaggy was in the shop. Was it? Yeah. What did you do to it? It stains, isn't it? There's a lot of stains. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah, absolutely. Anyway, this is where Vin Diesel said, don't worry, Fast and Furious is coming back and it's going to be in April of 2027. And he said, there's three conditions that he laid down. That was my reaction, by the way. Okay. These are the three conditions he laid down for the franchise. And these are definitely from him and not a studio mandate. One, bring the franchise back to Los Angeles Okay, I mean they did that already for tax credit purposes
Starting point is 00:15:29 I think it's because they were like they filmed the last one in like a Roman wherever else Hmm and it or a or a green screen that looked like yeah, not a big ball and whatever I'm a ball John Cena flipped his car to his death or something It's probably too dangerous to film in Rome again because that big ball is still rolling Yeah, I don't know if you know this but Rome is so perfectly shaped in a kind of a like a skateboard ramp kind of setup That once you get a ball rolling, it's just rolling forever and like perpetual motion Yeah, exactly all the people are you know, they're sitting at their trattoriers outside on the pavement or whatever They're trying to drink their espresso and frickin balls coming down the road a giant metal ball. That's crazy
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah, which may or may not have a nuclear warhead in it. And they're like, mama mia, my Ristretto, they'll say. I was in a cafe recently. Oh yeah, it must be nice. And somebody came up to the waitress and she was like, this coffee's too strong. And the waitress looked at the order and went, it's a double Ristretto. What are you? And she's like, yeah, but it's a bit strong.
Starting point is 00:16:24 That's what it is. That's, that's as close as you get to pure caffeine in a cup. Why are you? And she's like, yeah, but it's a bit strong. That's what it is. That's as close as you get to pure caffeine in a cup. Why did you order that and then go? It's too strong. No, you should die if you did that. She did. Good. Yeah. I'm not saying I'm gonna-
Starting point is 00:16:37 They brought out the manager and the manager shot her. Okay. Let them off all that. You should go quietly and die, like crawl under a house and die. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. That's what I think. Yeah. Second point, return the narrative to car culture, the street racing. Cool.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I mean, you're going to have to get out of that exploded dam first. And that, and the plane blew up as well. The plane blew up with everybody on it. Everyone was on that plane. Yeah. I guess that's going to make the race less people. That'd be easy. Tyrese won't be on it or whatever. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And the third thing is reuniting Dom and Brian O'Connor. Absolutely. So of course, oh yeah, that is what you're going to get in the finale. So basically the announcement is that Paul Walker is returning to the Fast and Furious franchise. Okay. Presumably they're going to use the same similar technologies last time. Which is one of his brothers.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Is it Cody or is it a different brother? I think it was both of them last time. I don't know, I guess they both do the same thing. And look man, that's his family. They can do whatever they want. And it is somewhat ghoulish but also when they did it in Seven, it was pretty good. I mean also they had to do it because they killed half of it. They don't have to do this. Yeah, no, I mean the the reason a lot of these look, a lot of these face replacement things
Starting point is 00:17:47 and bringing back the Star Wars actors and etc. look so awful and ghoulish is because they do it as quickly as possible and they keep changing their minds and the VFX houses are so overworked and they have to knock it out in a week. And then someone does it on YouTube and it looks better. Yeah, exactly. So like at the very least, they were honoring his work in the movies and they took the time to make sure it looked as good as it possibly can. So if they are doing this again, I very much doubt,
Starting point is 00:18:14 and I'm sure Vin Diesel isn't gonna be just like, just knock it out or whatever. Like they're gonna, whatever you think of the movies and Vin Diesel and other people in these movies, if they're gonna do this, they are gonna take the time to make it look pretty good. I would estimate. But as to the rest of it, is this because he's committed to a great finale for the Fast and the Furious franchise, or is this because the last one didn't do that well and they've got to cut it sort of back to the bone?
Starting point is 00:18:37 Absolutely that. Yeah, which I'm all for. I'm also for good movies. Although this isn't gonna be the last one, even if it bombs, they'll retool it again. And we'll see whatever absolutely Fast and Furious Baby is something you would love to see. That's terrific. They already do Fast and Furious Kids. Wasn't there a cartoon series? Yeah, it was like Netflix or something. And there's that video game, which I love. We played it together. I do like that one. Vin Diesel Returns. Now this is also far enough in the future that I think they are going to be aware that most people in the audience have forgotten what happened in the last one. So they'll just, they will absolutely brush over every, every, I would not shock me if
Starting point is 00:19:15 this, the next one starts with them just in the Brian's house or whatever. I completely agree. And they're just all there. And it's the same thing, like, I can't believe we got out of it. Can't believe we all got out of that. I can agree. And they're just all there and it's the same thing like... I can't believe we got out of it. Can't believe we all got out of it. I can't believe we escaped that exploding plane. Well, we did. Can't believe you... I can't believe you escaped that exploding plane. I don't want to talk about it now. It's like when in the last one they were like, how did Han come back? Well, he just did. Yeah, how did Gadot get off that submarine? Oh, I forgot she's a submarine captain now.
Starting point is 00:19:42 How did she get off that submarine? Put she... there's a hatch. Probably out of the hatch. Yeah, we saw her get out of the hatch, James. Do you not remember? Yeah, I remember everything. That's actually not a good thing, though, when it comes to these movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or just movies in general. God, people are like, you know, it's amazing you remember all this stuff. Some people are like that. Some people like you don't remember enough. Correct. Yes. I guess normal people say that. Yes. But it's like, I don't choose to. Oh sure, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I'm not like studying. Yeah. It just stays with me. And thank god I do this, because what would I do with this information? If it just rattled around in your head. I don't know anything useful. Variety Mason, they're saying that Thunderbolts director Jake Shrier will officially direct the X-Men reboot.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Pretty good. From Marvel Studios. Ooh. Alright, like him, like Thunderbolts. Could be the best superhero movie of the year yet. I don't know, it is so far. Has there only been one? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Good. Good. Sad. Family affair. You know what I mean? That's what it's all about. That's what it's all about. You better believe it. Costumes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Cyclops, but he's wearing the blue ones and he's got that yellow stripe. To indicate he supports the West Coast Eagles. They're blue and yellow, right? They certainly are. Or whatever they are now. Maybe they're not the West Coast Eagles. I think they are. I think you're right. So that's good. Great. Let's talk more Marvel stuff because Screen Crush. Sinners producer Sev Ohanian.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Just imagine it. Oh, Screen Crush. Ah! They're being crushed by the screen. That's the logo. There's a man and he's... Ah! And he's saying, apparently all the costumes in Sinners were just bought for cost from Marvel.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Wow. Because they were going to be used on Blade. Because as we've been hearing, Blade was going to be a period piece at one point, a vampire period piece and Sinners is that. Great costuming, cool stuff. I mean that's a huge win for like that production. I guess Ryan Coogler had that relationship with Marvel and whatever. So this is confirmed. This is confirmed. The producers said it.
Starting point is 00:21:46 So yeah, that's good. They just, Marvel just went, yeah, we have a closet for period vampire movie. Just you want to say anything you want? We also have the inhumans stuff. Do you want any of that? We do not, absolutely not. You should burn that.
Starting point is 00:22:01 So that's really, I mean, God, blade. I don't even know. That also suggests that they were like... Well along. Well along. Oh yeah. Or they just went, okay, some of this movie's gonna be set, you know, in the early 20th century. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:17 So just churn out a hundred costumes. Yeah. Oh, now we've cancelled that concept, so. Yeah. I don't know. Wow. And that's cancel culture. Who's gonna stop it? Who Who's going to step in and do the right thing? I hope it's Tim Allen. You think it'll be Tim Allen? Who else? Who else is brave enough? Kevin Sorbo. He is brave. He did fight Zeus that time. He did. Mason, this is from the Diz Insider. So who knows
Starting point is 00:22:42 whether this is real? I would say even if this is made up, this is real. Okay. That's your for Disney insider. I don't know. Okay. Because a DizInsider would be an outsider. Could be for DizInformation insider. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah. That's what I'm telling you. Wow. Apparently, within the Anna Jones, Lucasfilm was letting the franchise rest for a bit and then they're going to do a full reboot of the franchise. A full reboot. Is that what you said first time? What did I say? Reboot? You said re-broot. Yeah, they got a... He is a brood. He's often a brood. Often he is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Apparently the studio will announce something maybe around D23 Expo next year. Okay. And even though the last film tanked to the box office, Indiana Jones is still an iconic IP and Disney slash Lucasfilm do not want to waste that. Well, maybe they should have thought of that before they did nothing with Indiana Jones. For decades? Before, what was it? 15 years or whatever it was. Sure, yeah. And then went, do you want to see a really old man?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Not really. Interesting. To be honest. Wow. Can't believe I got excited for that movie. Like a moron. Look at me, look at me. Am I a stupid idiot?
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yes. Thank you. Yeah, go on. I was going to say, you know, who could pop up? A certain Shagadelic secret agent. Oh, yeah. They could cross over. I think the timelines certainly work out, don't they?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Yeah, I think. Thematically, I think, and tonally, they're quite similar. In this reboot. Yes. Even though Indiana Jones is set mostly in the 30s, the good stuff is at least. We set it during the bad stuff. OK, well, that's interesting. I think so.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah. All right. I'm in. I'm all in. Okay. It's Greenland. All right. Let's do this.
Starting point is 00:24:14 So I guess what does this mean? A recast? What are we doing here? Ooh, a whip. Ooh, behave. What are you going to do with that? Ooh, behave. You know?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Yeah. Being whipped on my bottom is my bag, baby, etc. That's naughty, baby. Yeah. So on and so forth. Yeah, absolutely. I didn't even think of that originally. But you know, once you once you come up with the concept, the ideas just start flowing. Agreed. You know? So what do you reckon? Recast? What are we doing here? I ate an idol. Yeah, I ate a big stone idol. could say, fat bastard, he's back. They're all back. All of my clients-
Starting point is 00:24:48 So Austin Powers isn't a reboot but Indiana Jones is. Is that what's happening here? But they reboot it in the 60s, or the year 1999 or whatever. I think to pay the respect to both franchises, I think you said it in the 60s, so it's 60s Austin Powers and he's got his bad teeth and everything. Hey, baby. I got bad teeth Yeah, and I guess fat bastard came back through time because he's a present-day villain He's a good guy though, isn't he doesn't become a good guy? He loses all that weight because he's like I'm like Jarom from Subway, but not the Crookster. Okay
Starting point is 00:25:20 Anyway, here's the thing both of those franchises so far in the past. It doesn't matter. Oh, yeah, you could just be like whatever Yeah, we we fast and like... Just do whatever. Yeah. We Fast and Furious 11. The distant past. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then people would be like, were these ever in the... I got fat again, you could say.
Starting point is 00:25:33 You could say that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. I mean, I think they need to do what they've sort of been doing. I ate a big ball in Rome and now I'm fat again. From eating the nuclear ball. Correct, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Okay, cool. But what about like... These ideas, they're just... Yeah, they're good. For meeting the nuclear bowl. Correct yes. Okay cool. But what about like... These ideas, there's too many ideas. We're at a video game but where's the animated stuff, where's the comics? We've talked about that. How are they getting... is this even a relevant... you have to get everybody on board with Indiana Jones again? I don't know, is this insurmountable to make it as popular as it once was?
Starting point is 00:26:03 Are we still doing the bit where I'm crossing over? You can do that if you want. No I think I'll stop doing the bit I'll come back to later. Okay as popular as it once was. Are we still doing the bit where I'm crossing over? You can do that. No, I think I'll stop doing the bit I'll come back to later. I mean, it's been working. So too, yeah. Yeah. I would say just keep going. And just to be clear, you did this.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Is that why you're doing it? Yeah, that's right. It'd be funny if they got all the Neran right to be Harrison Ford. To be Harrison Ford? Yeah, he would do a good job. Like he would be great in the Jones. Yeah. You'd do it again. To be Harrison Ford. Yeah, he would do a good job. I think so too, yeah. Yeah, he'd be great. You'd do it again, why not? Yeah, I know like there was an era when it was like Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, whatever,
Starting point is 00:26:31 pick one of those guys. That's past. Yeah. So you'd probably have to, I don't know. Tom Holland. Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. Good stuff, I like that.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do it? I mean, I couldn't do it, But it's like, oh, you wouldn't want to step on the toes of Harrison Ford. I just think it's an impossible thing. Yeah. I mean, they probably just should have given him a young I mean, they attempted this, didn't they? I mean, a couple of times, it's all it's it's, you know, exactly what I'm gonna say. Yeah, you know, the the idea was obvious, you have a new side sidekick and you pass the torch to the sidekick But then Shia LaBeouf went off the rails and nobody yeah, Phoebe Waller-Bridge to do it. I guess yeah, so
Starting point is 00:27:15 And then you just have it you'd use the font and it's not Indiana Jones It's just Raiders of the Lost Ark whatever the adventure is. Mutt Williams. Exactly. Mutt Williams and the adventure and he has a secret. Exactly, that's right. I don't know, Ink is whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:27:34 We'll see. Game's good. Yeah, game is good. We'll see. Yeah. But maybe that's what it becomes. Yeah. You know, it becomes that kind of franchise as opposed to your blockbuster.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You know? Yeah. I don't know. Maybe that found in the youth, but maybe it's good. Yeah, we've heard good things. Nobody's said anything good about it. Nobody's said any, nobody's seen it or said anything good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I mean, what do you do? Animated series? I think so. I think they should have done this 10 years ago, though. Yeah. I think they're way too late. Because animated series takes the weight off an actor who doesn't look enough like, like he looks enough like Indiana Jones.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Get Troy Baker to do it again. Yeah, exactly. And that also takes the weight off people going, they don't look like the old movies. They don't have the Spielberg magic. They don't have the et cetera. You can set it in whatever era then. Yeah, exactly. The 60s.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get Troy Baker. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Cool. Mason, Traylor's ahoy. Honk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get Troy Baker. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Cool. Mason trailers ahoy. Horn.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Whoa, new horn? Don't care. Mason, we've got this. Project Hail Mary. Yes. Spoilers. I did say I was going to read the book before the trailer came out. I didn't have time.
Starting point is 00:28:40 There's more stuff in the book. Yeah. Well, I mean, let's get all the way through the trailer before we spoil it. Sure. What happens in the trailer. There'll be a time code below if you want to jump to the next one. It's also not a huge spoiler. You can probably.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah, you can puzzle it out. So it's Andy Weir's story, who did The Martian, of course, which was very successful. Drew Goodard did the screenplay. And apparently he's only got one idea, which is a guy in space. No, it's Raison whatever. Good on you, Andy Weir. This is Phil Lord and Chris Miller who did Indiana Jones. They did the Han Solo movie until they got fired. That's right and they produced the Spider-Verse movies?
Starting point is 00:29:15 Yes, or directed them or something. But it's one of those things isn't it? That's correct it is one of those things. So that's good and fun. Ryan Gosling's here, he's like I can't go go do Save Space. Yeah, I'm just a man. A regular man. But he has to go Save Space. So the sun is going out.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Oh, where have I heard this before? Just in the best movie of all time? That's right. Austin Powers III. Gold member. Yes, gold member. Some cruisers in that one. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah, the sun's going out and it turns out all the suns in all the nearby solar systems are also going out. But why? We don't know. So they're going to send Ryan Gosling and he's a high school science teacher. Apparently he's got the skills and they can't send anybody else. So they're going to send him there to figure out what's going on. And he goes, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:02 But what else is here, he says. And then is the spoiler part, alien. Yeah, he he goes, I don't know. Yeah, but what else is here? He says yes, and then is the spoiler part? Alien. Yeah, he meets an alien. Yeah, so in the book and it'll be similar here. It's like a spidery kind of thing Also, there's a movie last year called spaceman and it's got Adam Sandler. It's on Netflix and Paul Dano played a spider That's right. Yeah, so when I saw that I'm like, huh, that's weird So this looks great. Yeah, so it's. Yeah. So when I saw that, I'm like, huh, that's weird. So this looks great. Yeah. So it's March 20, 2026. The Martian is a good movie. Yes. And a good book. And I would say this is this seems more whimsical. Yeah. I remember the book's not as funny as this, I would say, from memory. Yeah. But yeah, a lot of the book is based on the relationship between the two of them, obviously. And yeah, so it doesn't stop when the alien turns up. That's most of the narrative.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Right. Is that. So yeah, it's well worth a read if you are, if you had an interest in the trailer. Mason, let's do the next one. The Runnin' Man. Runnin' Man. So Edgar Wright is directing a reboot of The Runnin' Man. That's right.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Which is closer, it hits closer to the Stephen King novel or novel or I don't know. We did do a movie commentary actually on the original running man, Arnold, who actually made an appearance. He made several appearances. It was crazy how he kept calling in. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Apparently they actually reached out.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Specifically it was Arnold from the 80s. Yeah, that's right. Some sort of rich person time phone. Yeah, it was crazy. It was so bizarre. And you barely heard any of it, I think, actually. I was out of the room for a lot of it. Apparently, they got on a Zoom call with him and said he gave us the...
Starting point is 00:31:37 I think he makes that there's a small like cameo kind of nod to him in it. There is because he's on the money. He's on the... Oh, that's right. Yeah, there is that. Maybe there's something else. that and he also he said he gave us his blessing and said of all the films I've made I've always felt this one would be worthy of a remake. It definitely feels like darker than yes so that the first one is set
Starting point is 00:31:56 like within a game world like it is like like an adventure yeah like a gladiator's kind of thing yeah but this one is is more akin to the original story, which is just, it is a, uh, you, you volunteer to be a running man and then everybody in the country can track you down. And if you survive 30 days, you win a lot of money. That's right. Uh, and that's, that's the original one. Nobody does ever. Apparently not, no.
Starting point is 00:32:21 But maybe this time, maybe. Yeah. This looks terrific. Yeah. We have Coleman Domingo as the TV host. But maybe this time maybe. Yeah. This looks terrific. Yeah. We have Coleman Domingo as the TV host. Yep. Which is great. Michael Cera is in it.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Who of course was in Scott Pilgrim also, which Edgar Wright directed. That's right. Glenn Powers mentioned. I don't know, man. What do you reckon? Looks cool. I like it. It's going to be out, what date in 2026?
Starting point is 00:32:40 Let's have a look. It's going to be out November, oh sorry, November 7th of this year. Oh hell yeah. James Brolin, it'slin, sorry, is in it. Katie O'Brien's in it. Oh, there you go. Cool. All right. Mason, let's do this last trailer. This one leaked unless you saw it in cinemas. Whenever they say this is going to play in front of a movie exclusively, we never have that in Australia. That's true. It literally has never happened here. But the Odyssey. We just get that ad about the two men who are like.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Did you buy something for mom or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and my son, we love that ad and we recite it to each other when they do it. The first 10 to 20 times I saw that ad, I was like, God, these guys are annoying. But now I'm like, I would kill for these men. They just need to get, they need to get need to get this guy's mom's birthday.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I didn't even realize they're together. Yeah, I know. Because they're on the background of each other's phone. I didn't realize that until recently. Did you not? I thought they were bros. I mean, they are bros. Yeah, but they're a couple.
Starting point is 00:33:38 But they're doing it. Wow, not in the cinema. I don't know. I mean, the whole point of it is, you know, turn your phone off before you go into the cinema. Yeah. Because they say, did you get anything for mum's birthday? No, he says your mum's birthday.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I know that because they're not bros. Oh, they're bros. Yeah. But they're doing it. Yes, that's right. Anyway, The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's next movie. There's a few controversial things. It leaked, by the way. You can find it though.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I think I watched on Dailymotion maybe. I don't know. Something. There's American accents. It's just whatever accents going in. But it's also a fantastical epic journey. Apparently there's going to be a big Cyclops in it and whatever else. Oh hell yeah. And maybe it's like animatronic and that would be something to see. That would be exciting. Big robot cyclops. Also, it's Nolan's most expensive movie, THR, I reckon that it's got a $250 million
Starting point is 00:34:32 budget. Nice. So that's cool. And what do we see of it? A bloody bloke on a beach. Bloke on a beach, wooden horse, Matt Damon in the water, John Berenthal, Tom Holland. Sorry. No, what is it?
Starting point is 00:34:45 James Tom. James Tom. But he's not James Tom in this. Not yet. Yeah. Yeah. So, doesn't give much away, but I think, yeah, I think this is going to be way more fantastical than, it seems more, it seems grounded and Troy-like, but it's going to be magic, et
Starting point is 00:35:00 cetera. Very nice. Cool. Maybe like that movie, Wrath of the Titans or Clash of the Titans. Sure or Gods of Egypt. Good movie. It's probably a spiritual successor to Gods of Egypt. Good movie. I agree. There you go. So that's out July 17th. Wow that's soon. That is soon. 2026. Yes. So it's not that soon actually. No. It's over a year when you think about it. When you think about it like I think about it. Last bit of news. Go on. This is by Instagram. Neil Druckmann.
Starting point is 00:35:27 He's left The Last of Us before season 3's happened. What? He said, I've made the difficult decision to step away from the creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO, with work completed on season 2, and before any meaningful work starts on season 3. Dude. It's going to take forever to make this fucking show. Now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future
Starting point is 00:35:47 projects. So Neil Druckmann is the creator of the game, right? And he's the head of the studio? Yes, I'm both. And so he's been involved in the making of the TV show, but he's stepping back from that. Correct. So including writing and directing our exciting new game Intergalactic the Heretic Prophet along with my responsibilities as studio head and head of creative. Along with this Hayley Gross is also leaving. She
Starting point is 00:36:08 worked on Westworld and also co-wrote The Last of Us Part 2 with Neil Druckmann. I don't know, I think maybe because of the reception of that season 2 and whatever maybe there's some stuff going on there. I watched The Last of Us season 2, I finally finished it. I thought it was whatever. Like there's some good stuff in it but I didn't love it and it ended in a weird time. And you know what happened? What's that? Twice, I went, oh, what was the end of that? I didn't get to it.
Starting point is 00:36:31 And I watched the last 10 minutes. I'm like, I fucking watched this already. And then I did it again. Oh, wow. I forgot and ask me how it ends now. How's it end? No fucking idea. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Can't remember. Wow. But I can definitely remember the end of the first season. I don't know, I think narratively, it's a huge drop off. It drops off a cliff. It's a shame. Yeah, so... And you think this is Neil Druckmann's fault? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why he's leaving. They're probably kicking him out.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I don't have the quote here, but apparently Pedro Pascale came up to him at one point and was like, Do you like art? Do you like art? Do you like art? Like, like in response to like him making a lot of decisions on the, on the show in a particular way. This guy was like, do you like art? Oh, wow. I wish, I wish we were making art. And not crap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Not direct. Yeah. Wow. That's hard. That's a hard thing to hear and say. Yeah. Anyway, are you going to watch it? No.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I'll come back to season're going to watch it? No. Yeah, fair enough. Maybe I'll come back to season three, see where it's at. But yeah, it does like it hits the baits of like the second game and there are performances in it and things that happen. I'm like, this is pretty exciting, I guess. But I just couldn't, just couldn't get, couldn't get into it. Like it's also not terrible. Right. But I think it's such a massive drop off from the first season, which I think is near perfect. Anyway, and that's the news that we live in and the world that we have. Anything else, Mason, or should we move to the next segment of the show? I was talking about Jurassic of Time.

Starting point is 00:38:36 Whoa, whoa. Ah man, I tell you what, on a budget of $180 million, though THR claims that it's closer to $225 million. Whoa, that's a specific change. Angus Agreed. It's having a five day domestic run in the US because of something, fourth of something. Will Barron Fourth of July. Happy Fourth of July everybody. Angus Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Will Barron We're there with you. Angus Happy Firework. Will Barron That's right. We hope it's shagadelic. Angus We do. We hope that for you. It's going to have 141.2 opening US weekend. Will Barron That's a big movie. Angus That includes, so to be, if you did judge it as a three day weekend, which is what you would normally do, it's about 85 million.
Starting point is 00:39:09 It's going to do about 312 million internationally. This is good. Big movie. Yeah. It's a big movie. Well at last. Wah wah wah. All the exits are being sealed.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Cyanide gas is being pumped into the atmosphere. Why are they doing that? Big movie alert. I don't know man. Don't they want people to go to the big movie? I don't know man. Is they shooting it into the atmosphere? Wait a second, when you had this room fitted out, did you ask the guy to put in a big movie alert? Yeah, in case there was a big movie.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Well you've doomed us both. Mate, I don't know what to tell you. This is podcasting. This is the industry, alright? Yeah, that's true. That's what we agreed to. With all the good, everything good and ill. I guess, sign our gases to be pumped into the room.
Starting point is 00:39:59 So yeah, it's, but it has been a year for things just falling off a cliff. I think you're going to say it's been a big year. It's been a year since the last Jurassic Park movie. Maybe. A little bit longer than that. It has, but yeah. F1 looks like it's got some legs. I mean this is going to come up against-
Starting point is 00:40:14 And some wheels. And some wheels. This is going to come up against Superman, but most things have just kind of flash in a pan. Sinners has been an exception. That one's done exceptionally well and went longer and etc. Anyways, what do you think the story was? It's been X number of years since the last whatever. That's right, with the bugs? Yeah, the bugs. The dinosaurs, they got out into the world. Now, there's a world full of dinosaurs, but they all died. Except for, because
Starting point is 00:40:38 they can't handle it. No. You'd think that that would be a cool premise, but actually, they've all died. It's a bad premise and you're an idiot. Yeah, and anyway, all the dinosaurs are now sort of around the equator, because that's where it's the warmest. Yes. Including some islands. Yeah. And anyway. They spend a lot of time going like, all the dinosaurs are around the equator.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Where are the dinosaurs? They're actually out the equator. Why the equator? It's hot at the equator. That's right. And that's where all the dinosaurs are They're actually out the equator. Why the equator? It's hot at the equator. That's right. And that's where all the dinosaurs are. Should we go there? You shouldn't but you can. That's right. Well, they have to because Rupert Friend, who to be clear is no friend of mine. No, because we don't know him. He's a slimy corporate guy and he's got to get, he needs to take some people on a fetch quest
Starting point is 00:41:23 because they need to get the DNA of three specific dinosaurs on a specific island. So he's got a higher Scarlett Johansson who's some sort of special ops type person. Yeah, but she's got a dark secret. What is it? Somebody she knew died or whatever. Is that it? Yeah, she's a mercenary, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Maybe she's got a conscience though. Nice. Yeah. But anyway, she wouldn't possibly be able to recognize dinosaurs from pictures of dinosaurs, specific pictures of dinosaurs. She wouldn't be able to look at a big dinosaur and then like an enormous dinosaur and then look at a picture of a dinosaur and go, that's the dinosaur I got to get the DNA out. Got to get it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 So you got to get another guy. And that's Jonathan Bailey. Yeah. And he goes, I know land, sea and air dinosaurs. That's right. I'm a science man. Because I've seen Voltron, the road, the vehicle version where they do know land sea and air dinosaurs. I'm a science man because I've seen Voltron the road the vehicle version where they do land Sea and air that's right. I understand that. Yeah, I'm a 90s kid You know, I mean wicked yeah, man, that's right But anyway, and they're they're on the crew they're doing but then they're gonna need a crew that's crazier than them Yeah, I mean, yeah, so you're gonna get Mahershal or Ali. He'll be there. He's gonna be in there
Starting point is 00:42:21 Yeah, and some other guys don't ask him about blade. Yep. He doesn't know. It's nice to see him in a movie. I agree. But he doesn't know. He doesn't know. That's true. Please don't ask him. Ask him about Jurassic World. Yeah. But he doesn't know about that either. Anyway, he's got some other, he's a ship's captain. Ed Scroon's there. Is that Ed, it was Ed Scroon. He'd be a good Lex Luthor. Can he do an American accent? Don't you reckon? Like the physicality of him. Yeah. I think he'd be a good Lex Luthor? He could be a good Lex Luther. He could be a British Lex Luther. That's true. British Luther. Sorry, Gohan. He could be all, I demand one billion dollars. He could do that. Right? Yeah, he could do that. That's what I'm saying. Lex Luther. Yeah. Gohan. Anyway, he's got a crew of other people there also there.
Starting point is 00:43:01 But are there other people there? Yes, there's other people. There's, I mean, you wouldn't, you wouldn't go into these waters because it's illegal and also you might die because of the dinosaurs, because they're all on the equator. But what are the chances? Pretty good. Yeah, because there's so many. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Uh, but anyway, there's a fan, there's a family. It's a dad and, and, and two daughters and one of the daughter's boyfriend's there on a little boat. Yeah. And they're like, we're like, we're just gonna sail. We're gonna have a big sailing time. We're gonna have a good fun time. We used to do this with your mother
Starting point is 00:43:29 and what happened to her, who cares? But just to be clear, I've got a tragic backstory also. If you think I'm gonna be the only dad without a tragic backstory, I've got one. Mate, you're gonna be speaking to us. Everybody here's got a tragic backstory. We're gonna explore it the tiniest amount. Yeah, God. And then you have, they all to the island and but it also there's a third island
Starting point is 00:43:49 There was there so this Jurassic Park that exploded Yeah, two movies ago, and then there was also the Jurassic world the lost I the lost the lost world island which featured in movies two and three that one's still out there That's where they bred all the dinosaurs. This is a third even more dinosaur island. This is the island of misfit toys. Yeah, that's right. And you might be like, how are they different from regular dinosaurs? They look different, some of them.
Starting point is 00:44:11 That's true. Yeah. They're all slopping about. Do they behave differently? Big domed heads. Yeah, they're there. And don't go near them, but you can go near some of them. And you know, DNA.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah, absolutely. Because the DNA will stop people having heart attacks, which is what happened to Scarlett Johansson's father or mother maybe. That's right. And that's part of the movie. That's her arc and backstory. Yeah. What do you think?
Starting point is 00:44:33 All right. Yeah. Passed the time, didn't it? It's not much, is it? Well, I think most... I think it's better than the last two, but that is damning it with faint praise. I think it feels very rushed for reasons we get into. I don't think Gareth Edwards didn't have the time or was utilised properly.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Oh yeah, this was directed by Gareth Edwards who of course did the creator and other things. Yes, Monsters, Godzilla Reboot. Some of Rogue One. I feel like the particular set of characters, there's less mugging. The previous ones, Christelis Howard and Chris Pratt just mugging at each other. Yeah, there's less mugging. Okay. You know, like the previous one. Oh, totally. Bryce Ellis Howard and Chris Pratt just mugging at each other. Yeah, there's definitely less of that.
Starting point is 00:45:09 So I don't know, I mean, you know, generally I've found Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and... Ed Skrin? No, Mr. Mann. The wicked man? Mr. Wicked Mann. Oh, Jonathan Bailey. Jonathan Bailey, thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I think they were a good combination generally. I think it's cast really well, but I think what people forget, because there's this idea that like... Try me, Buster. I never forget anything. What do you think I forgot? You know, and you see this for like the Godzilla and Kong movies. It's like, we don't care about the creatures.
Starting point is 00:45:40 We like, we're sorry. We don't care about the people. We only care about the creatures. We don't care about the people, we only care about the creatures. But the original Jurassic Park, the scenes without the dinosaurs are just as compelling due to the writing. There's boardroom scenes. The conversations and the ethics behind everything that they're doing is very interesting. It's one of those things where as you get older, it becomes more interesting because you realize it's not just about dinosaurs, it's about other things whereas these have become because you've become a bloody don't yeah, that's right They were these but these are just like creature features and just kind of get to the dinosaurs
Starting point is 00:46:12 Mm-hmm, and I don't know I think I think again. Yeah, it's cast well, but they don't really have anything to say It's like what's the ethics behind? Dinosaurs, I don't know They just they can die, but whatever I feel like there was definitely like a studio mandated moment of let's see the wonder of the dinosaurs. Yeah. Like you absolutely know they're going to have to put in a moment where they go, wow, big dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Well, I've only seen dinosaurs on the street. Yeah. We only see dinosaurs every day. But now they're in a different... That's the other part of this movie is the world is sick of dinosaurs and nobody cares or is going to dinosaur museums or zoos. That would never fucking happen and I know that would never happen because of just regular zoos. I love the zoo. You love the zoo? I love seeing a bird. I'm like, fuck, birds are great.
Starting point is 00:46:59 The other day I was like, why are some birds like grey and pink? That's crazy. That is crazy. So yeah, if there were dinosaurs, like there's a dinosaur, there's a Triceratops skeleton at the Melbourne Museum. Skellington. Skellington. And it's fucking incredible.
Starting point is 00:47:13 And it's just a skeleton. It's not even a real dinosaur cause it's a skeleton, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I love it. And I know that's not just me. And so don't tell me that dinosaurs aren't cool. Isn't it a trenchant commentary
Starting point is 00:47:28 on the very nature of Studio Blockbusters, James? That's exactly what it is. Because they go, oh, people are bored of dinosaurs. So let's write that in. But obviously, from the way that these movies have performed, even when they're shit, people aren't bored of dinosaurs
Starting point is 00:47:44 because they will see these regardless. Apparently. So I just don't believe that. They're not even bored of bad dinosaur movies. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. So David Kep who wrote this and he wrote the original screenplay, he spoke to THR and he said they took that idea all the way, the idea that dinosaurs were in the real world
Starting point is 00:48:03 and they're everywhere. And he said dinosaurs were nesting on the Chrysler building and renting apartments downtown. I didn't have a single idea about where to go with that. Why'd you write the movie? Why'd you take the job then? So you just do like, it felt like greatest hits. It was like the Beatles number one album. Yeah, which is the best album.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Yeah, of course. It's got all their greatest hits. But it's like that. The only, I would say, really distinct scene that felt new is a scene from the book which they couldn't put in the first movie, which was the Raft T-Rex scene. Which I think is genuinely very good. But the rest of it is like, I've seen the Mosasaur, I've seen people looking at fucking Brachiosaurus, they're not Brachiosaurus, they're whatever in this. I've seen mutant dinosaurs, I've seen raptors, oh Brachiosaurus. They're not Brachiosaurus, they're whatever in this. I've seen mutant dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I've seen raptors. Oh, these ones have wings. I've fucking seen this and it still all looks great. And there's some tension to it and whatever, but it's just, I've seen this. And it's just, you didn't have other ideas that weren't, what if we went to Jurassic park again? It's yeah. We've even done, let's go to to Jurassic Park but it's run down.
Starting point is 00:49:07 We fucking did that. Yeah. You know? Or there's a Spinosaur. There's three of them. Cool man. Maybe David Kep, you could have had a Spinosaur and given the writing job to somebody who had more ideas.
Starting point is 00:49:18 What I think, I think to me the, I think it's a shame they have never gone the full dinosaurs have over on the world thing. Yeah. I think that thing. I know be way better can't now really can't yeah cuz well They could just go climate change. Yeah, I think hot or whatever like the yeah They've sort of clipped the wings of this one But and again, I think we I'm sure we talked about that once we talked about the previous is the previous one the one that Brought all the original cast back. Yeah, and they teamed up with the new cast too many Yeah, right The previous one, the one that brought all the original cast back. Yeah. And they teamed up with the new cast. Too many, yeah. Right. Well, what clearly happened in that one is they went, we've got to do a movie where dinosaurs have overrun the world.
Starting point is 00:49:50 And then somebody went, oh, well, according to the science, they couldn't have overrun the world. There hasn't been enough time or whatever, or they can't. According to the science, none of this. Yeah. Quite frankly. So let's just make it bugs. Maybe bugs overrun the world.
Starting point is 00:50:01 And it's like, now they've done a similar thing by going, all the pre-existing dinosaurs that did escape into the world have died, all the ones that are in the cities and what have you. You shouldn't have done that. No. I think in the next one, and they're going to have an next one, just say the climate change has caused the entire world to heat up. And so now dinosaurs can thrive. And then you just go, the world's been overrun with dinosaurs. Well, the science now dinosaurs can thrive. And then you just go, the world's been overrun with dinosaurs. Well, the science doesn't check out.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Well- Life found a way. Yeah, life found a way, Einstein, Mr. Einstein genius brainiac. What do you know about anything? Because look, they're out the window. Look, it's crazy. Yeah, there's one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 That guy sliding down that one like he's Fred Flinstone. Exactly. I think that actually is Fred Flinstone. That's right. Now that I look at it. We've gone back through time. So this is what David Kep said about what's good Spielberg's involvement in this because he does have a hand in all of this.
Starting point is 00:50:49 He said, one of the things is that should be scary. I don't think it's very scary. Yeah, but for kids. Yeah, sure. We should see some things that we've never seen before. I don't think that happened. Domehead. Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Six armed dinosaur. Yep. Let's make the science as close to as real as we can. Okay, sure, shooting a fucking dart into a dinosaur or whatever. It's a very elaborate plan. It's a, you shoot a dart into a dinosaur to get the DNA and then it fills up the syringe
Starting point is 00:51:20 and then it shoots itself into the air and then it's got a little parachute on it. And you catch it. It's a lot to pack into one little tube. Yeah, and you might think, is it hard to catch? No, sometimes it'll just land near you, you don't really need to worry about it. And he said... Well, it's made of glass, which is probably a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Yeah, it's probably made of perspex glass, super glass, super drastic glass. Probably made of super drastic super glass. Oh, InGen's gone again or whatever. But this particular movie, he really wanted to avoid anything that was self-referenced. He does not like to quote himself, he's allergic to it. If you put something in the ring that's too familiar, he really wanted to avoid anything that was self-referenced. He does not like to quote himself. He's allergic to it. If you put something in the ring that rings too familiar, he'll say, didn't I do that already?
Starting point is 00:51:50 Don't do that. That's this movie. That's the whole fucking movie is just the thing that you saw. Correct. Yes. I mean, it really felt like it just lurched between different moments from Jurassic Park slash world. Great.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And also often there is a through line of like dinosaurs, like a dinosaur you see that will follow on through. You see the mutant dinosaur at the start and then in the last 10 minutes it shows up. So it's not even like like the T-Rex itself is a character in the first movie or whatever. But you know, there's a narrative there. Right. Whereas this it sort of isn't. It's just like the set pieces are, oh, there's a different dinosaur. It feels like a video game.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I think you've forgotten about the very small dinosaur that is going to be used to sell a million plushies. Yeah, that they take back to the real world. So it's going to die immediately. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. The other thing is, oh, a Snickers rapper let a dinosaur out. That's correct. Yeah. I did notice a lot of product placement in this. There were some Snickers and some M&Ms dinosaur out. Let a mutant out. That happened at the start. I did notice a lot of product placement in this.
Starting point is 00:52:46 There were some Snickers and some M&Ms. They go into a 7-Eleven at one point. They do. An abandoned Jurassic Park Island. I was looking out for Grain Waves, but I couldn't see any Grain Waves. You couldn't see any Grain Waves? You couldn't see any Grain Waves. Dude, open your eyes.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Sorry. I also think it's not very Gareth Edwards-y. I think one of the things that he does well, and you see it in literally everything. Sense of scale. Yeah, it's the sense of scale and realism. And I think also because this was supposed to go to, who was it? I want to say like Chad Stahelski or somebody like that, or the bullet train guy who might be this.
Starting point is 00:53:17 David Leitch? Maybe it's David Leitch. Yeah, David Leitch, right? And so Gareth Edwards had less than a year and a half from when he came on to when this happened. And I understand why they got him because he can shoot things on the fly. He takes very precise shots. And then because he, he won't get people to CGI everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:34 He'll cut the movie together as he did with the creator. And then from that, you, you know exactly how many CGI shots do. Yeah. Right. It's so cheap. But the principal of photography, this began on June 13th of last year, and ended in like August, September something.
Starting point is 00:53:51 So the turnaround on that is absolutely insane. But like, this looks incredible, and it's mostly CGI, it seems for the most part, and any kind of puppeteering was, for the most part, replaced, that's my understanding. And I think that had been a problem in the past, but we're at the point where you mostly can't tell, I think. There is a few shots where someone's in like Rapids, which kind of looks like they're not really in there,
Starting point is 00:54:11 if you notice that. But on that I think it's good. So yeah, I don't think this does him any favors in terms of what he's capable of. Do you think that is because all the shot selection was done before he was brought on? It might have been. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Did this feel bigger to you than any of the others or? Not really.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Or more wondrous or anything? Not really. There is a moment where we see two titanosaurs and they go into a valley and then there's a hundred of them. Yeah. And that's pretty much it, right? That's pretty much it valley and then there's a hundred of them. Yeah, and that's pretty much it, right? That's kind of the scale of it. So yeah, I guess if you like dinosaurs though, there's a bunch of those in this. Okay, now what about this?
Starting point is 00:54:55 Do you think it'd be fun for kids though? Yeah, probably. Yeah, I mean, if your kids have seen the other Jurassic Park slash World movies, all six of them and there you know They want a bit more of the same. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, should we do some spoilers? Let's do some spice Look, I'm gonna say best movie ever. I didn't hate it. I didn't find it It was my time. Yes, I think also it is definitely better than the last two. Yeah but again, that's not
Starting point is 00:55:21 much or Anything right? Uh-huh. I don't know. There must be something else to do here. It's got to be dinosaur apocalypse. Turn it around. Yeah. Just say a bunch of other companies were breeding dinosaurs as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:37 And then the climate change and they all come loose. Yeah. And there's a million of them. Also, I said this last time, I will say these forever. Yeah. Like it doesn't matter. Yeah. a million of them. Also I said this last time I will say these forever. Yeah, like it doesn't matter Yeah, I will say them But I think I think the last one was it wasn't good. I didn't like it sure but it
Starting point is 00:55:52 There was some newer stuff in it and I don't think this and even the one before that with a haunted house and then whatever Right. Uh-huh. Not necessarily good, but it was least it was like he's something else Right, uh-huh. And this is not this is like this is everything You know I'll accept at the end. There's a fucking Hector Hammond looking ass dinosaur Yes, with his big dome head we doing spoilers now Let's do a lot of time for spoil apparently based off alien and the rank or from Star Wars Yeah, because it looks exactly like those things yet mixed the D rex. Yeah, so it's now it is It's imagine a t-rex, but it also so it's got the back legs and the little arms, but it also has big four legs
Starting point is 00:56:29 So it's got six legs. Yeah, or six arms. Yep, and it's got four legs and two arms Yeah, and it also has a gigantic Yet alien style dome for a head. Why would you make that? Yeah, it's a good point, isn't it? Yeah, maybe they do by accident And that guy probably and they also explain like because there's a bunch of that kind of stuff running around not a bunch Yeah, there's like flying Raptors in this. Mm-hmm And they're like, I don't know we didn't kill it because then you can write it off on a spreadsheet And be like no that's part of the yeah tax thing right?
Starting point is 00:56:56 Okay, yeah, whatever sure sure sure. Yeah. I mean, maybe they should put bombs in their heads Yeah, maybe they should have a scene where someone uses a flare and Maybe they should put bombs in their heads. Yeah, maybe they should have a scene where someone uses a flare and lures it away. Maybe there should be a scene where people are being pursued by raptors in a dark room and it's sort of like a kitchen or a convenience store or whatever. But they're not raptors maybe. Yeah, they're...
Starting point is 00:57:14 And there's no grain waves. There are raptors in this that seem to annoy people because one gets taken by the by one of the bird ones and there's a big bird one. There's a big bird one and an egg and a cliff. That's right. All right. I thought that scene was quite... Yeah, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:57:29 That was quite fun and effective, I thought. It's fine and whatever, isn't it? Big bird one. That's right. Also Mahershala Ali, his character was supposed to die at the end. Yeah, but test screenings. They shot both just in case.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Right, yeah. And then they're like, no, it's better if he lives. So that's good, I guess. Yeah. I don't know, man. Fuck. James just stared he lives. So that's good, I guess. Yeah. I don't know, man. Fuck. James just stared off into the middle of the distance. I just don't, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Yeah, no, I definitely thought that. What are they, what am I supposed to say? When he, when Mahershala Ali lit the flare and went off and said, you know, I'm going to sacrifice myself and you guys. And then you see the flare go out. Yeah, I'm like, well, obviously he's going to live there. This is not the sort of franchise anymore, if it ever was, where somebody's gonna make that sacrifice. Robert Muldoon, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In 1993. Exactly. They're not gonna do that now. They're just,
Starting point is 00:58:15 of course, he's gonna live. Yeah. Which, you know, it's nice. Yeah, because he's got to be in the sequels. Because he's not doing any Marvel movies, is he? No, apparently not. No, he, well he did Voice Blade. Ah. In the Eternals. Oh. Oh. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah man.
Starting point is 00:58:33 I just, um, I don't know. I must, this feels the way that Ghostbusters is now, you know? It's the same fucking thing. It's the greatest hits and whatever. Should we do some reviews that people have sent in? Yes, please. This is from the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. This is from Jacob Benjamin Martindale who says,
Starting point is 00:58:51 I just like this movie so much and I was the only person in my group who actually wanted to go. So yeah. James Harrison said, good movie. This was the Jurassic World movie we should have had instead of the Chris Pratt stuff. The dinosaur stuff is tense and looks amazing. The characters are likable, the plot is interesting, my only complaint is the movie spoils its creatures of reals in the trailer, toy commercials before the movie and in the opening scene. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:13 True. Again, I do like the characters more, they did sort of lean towards, like obviously Rupert Friend's character is going to betray them all. He's no friend of mine. Exactly, nor of mine. Yeah. Because we've never met him. That's precisely correct, yes.
Starting point is 00:59:25 He's as far from shagadelic as you could get. Probably, yeah. Despite being British. Not groovy, baby. Not groovy at all. Yeah. I still think that first Jurassic World, it's not a perfect movie,
Starting point is 00:59:40 but it is like, oh, this is a functioning Jurassic Park. That's interesting to say, whatever. So I think this is probably the fifth best. So it goes one, two, three, then world, and then this, and then whatever the other two. Right, sure, sure, sure. So where do you think the mistake was made? What happened after Jurassic World?
Starting point is 01:00:04 That was the haunted house laser dinosaur. made? What happened after Jurassic World? That was the haunted house laser dinosaur. Yeah, but what else happens in that movie? Because that's towards the end, right? Yeah, they go back to Jurassic Park and it explodes because there's a volcano there. That's the exploding volcano one. So what was Fallen Kingdom? That's the one with the motorcycle Raptor chase?
Starting point is 01:00:21 But what's the plot of that one? It's Fallen Kingdom and Dominion, but I don't remember which is which. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Raptor motorcycle is Jurassic World. That's the first Chris Pratt one. And they, because they have to find the Indominus Rex. Right. But isn't one of them a... There's like a Raptor chase through Cairo because you can laser guide
Starting point is 01:00:45 the rap. Oh yeah, that's the last one. That's the last one. Whatever that was. What's the plot of that one? Dinosaur in the world, blue baby gets kidnapped and have to go to secret Jurassic World Island where the dude from who may is the the InGen competitor who's there, they had to recast him because the real the first actor was a
Starting point is 01:01:06 Pedophile. Oh, yeah cool. And then There's a big one with salad fingers and the salad fingers. Yeah. Yeah, and they're all lined up around the hell Oh, then there's a gigantosaurus Rex or whatever. So it's a huge T-rex and whatever and there's a plane isn't the plane bit and the plane bit is a big bird There's a big bird and whatever. Yeah, and there's a dinosaur auction. And so what isn't that? bit and there's a plane bit. There's a big bird. There's a big bird and whatever Yeah, and there's a dinosaur auction and so what isn't that? Yeah, there's also a dinosaur This time but this come they have the laser to guided dinosaurs No, that was in the Jurassic world too, but then there's a dinosaur auction that in the next one
Starting point is 01:01:36 There's like a market kind of auction. Yeah, that's the one I remember and Chris Pratt is doing his hands up He's doing the hands up. Yeah, anyway good franchise. I think we puzzled that out. In a way, they're all of roughly equal quality. Yeah, you might be right. I might be right. Except they're not. Dion Evans says, it's a bad film. Didn't enjoy this one, but I'm so surprised a film with dinosaurs was boring.
Starting point is 01:01:56 James McLean said, Funflick, remind me to write a user review for that inflatable raft. It's incredibly durable. That is true. That T-Rex bit was really genuinely good. The size of it, the whole, I really genuinely like that bit. I thought it was fantastic. Maybe there's the sense of scale. Yeah maybe. It did feel like meatier. Because there's that idea now that dinosaurs, the way that like we've seen them, that's like they shrink wrapped, because they would have
Starting point is 01:02:22 had more fat and muscle on them and whatever. Also I guess you don't really have any sense of scale to the D-Rex. No. You don't know how big it's supposed to be, so it's often hard to kind of, you know. Was it the size of a house? Maybe. Was it... The size of a human man.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Because it could pick up a helicopter in its mouth. That's too when it could go, yum yum yum. So that would make it like... Bigger than a helicopter. Ten times the size of a T-Rex? Yeah, ten T-Rex's stacked on top of each other. Ian Archibald said, this wasn't very good. The characters went interesting and the plot was predictable and essentially a video game
Starting point is 01:02:52 fetch quest. I don't think I've ever been as underwhelmed by dinosaurs. You should watch the movie, Adam Driver looks at dinosaurs. You should watch the TV show, Dinosaurs. Yeah, that's a good one too. And it is good. I just saw this as well. This is out on VOD on August 5th So less than a month away, but I guess they're anticipating Superman and then Fantastic Four. Yes
Starting point is 01:03:13 So I guess and I guess they're you know, they're anticipating a big hit opening opening weekend. Mmm big movie alert goes off That's true. That's what's interesting. interesting was like this was tracking slightly lower than it opened. And people are calling this this is a walkout movie. You know, people don't pre book these they're going to Jurassic Park, whatever. And then they go, huh? They look in their newspaper and they go, what are the times of cinema times? Remember looking at a newspaper? They'd call up movie phone. They'd say movie phone. What time is it? Mason?
Starting point is 01:03:45 Yes. What an incredible review we've done. I think so too. Maybe the best review of this. Yeah, probably. I haven't checked any of the other reviews, but you know. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I didn't see how they could possibly. Exactly. I bet Komode and Mayo are like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. One of them is like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the other one's like, yep. That is true. That is true. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Should we move to the next segment of the show? I bet they don't have this. I bet they don't have what we're reading. Yep. What we're gonna read. They don't have that. That's ours. They better not. That's right. I'm doing the thing. Great section of the show. You're saying just generally or you know in advance that this section will be good? It's never been good but this one, this version will be good. Why do you say that? I know what you're gonna say already. Mojo? Yeah. We're gonna bring our mojo to this.
Starting point is 01:04:36 That's right. Okay, alright. What are you bringing along with your mojo? Mojo? Yeah, but along with that. You have to have done something. Oh. Because it's about what we're reading or watching. Well, I didn't finish the back half of Ironheart. No. And I didn't finish season three or four or whatever it is of the bear. But I did watch some of the Old Guard too. I heard. Yes. Dreadful. Everyone's saying dreadful and doesn't finish. It's not exciting. I think they did that on purpose. Yeah, maybe they made a boring one. I don't know. Maybe I...
Starting point is 01:05:05 Why did they change the character who went to the bottom of the sea that's Uma Thurman? Or is it a different character? No, that's a different character. Who went to the bottom of the sea. Uma Thurman is a new immortal that we just, nobody mentioned beforehand. But they can feel each other's memories. And also Henry Golding is in this one. Is he a new immortal?
Starting point is 01:05:19 He's a new immortal that they decided not to tell anybody about. But can't they feel each other's feelings and emotions and say Right up close you got to be in a lift with them. You don't you can know the other side of the world You can sense in the man. They've read Charlie's throwing. She doesn't have her immortal powers They've retconned it so you have to be in an elevator with them before you can notice their more I guess that's good then but it what about Charlie's the wrong because she doesn't have her immortal powers. She's still got a funny I tell you this. She doesn't believe I tell you this chance. So I like the previous one. Did you like the previous one? I liked it too. We talked about it. And we talked about it and I think maybe we reviewed the comic as well at some point.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah, maybe. You might have. I have read it. But yeah, based on a comic book, it's a universe. There are some immortals. You are immortal until you're not. Yeah. But unlike the Highlander universe where if you get beheaded, you're done. Yeah. Basically anything can happen.
Starting point is 01:06:05 You can be turned to paste by a hand grenade and you'll eventually just come back to life unless you don't. In the last one, Charlize Theron, who was up until this point was meant to be the oldest immortal, she lost her immortal powers. But in this maybe there's a chance she'll get them back. She believes in herself or whatever. No it's because, so remember in the last one, a new immortal emerged.
Starting point is 01:06:27 Unless you got her powers. Yeah, so the idea being that she would, there's a prophecy in this one that if an immortal is wounded by the last immortal, so Uma Thurman is the first immortal, and the lady in the last one is the last immortal, and if you're wounded by the last immortal, you lose your immortality. That's the prophecy.
Starting point is 01:06:47 But also there's a chance for... There's a chance for Charlize Theron to get her powers back. But I haven't gotten that far in them. And you won't probably. Nor do I care to. No, I will probably finish it. I don't think I'm going to look at this at all. Again, I like all the people involved.
Starting point is 01:07:00 It's just not a lot happens in this. There is an interesting fight sequence because if you remember the previous one, one of the immortals was trapped underwater for centuries. And in this she re-emerges. She's mad about it. Yeah. She's more disappointed. She's upset.
Starting point is 01:07:14 How'd you get out? Uma therma got her out. Nice. With a fishing troller. Nice. That's good. And a crane and whatever. Do you see it?
Starting point is 01:07:20 Yeah. I mean, you see the... She gets on, comes out of the boat. She's like, Whoa! It's frin nuts out here anyway, there's a sequence between her and the the the immortal was trapped underwater and Charlize Theron when they have like a like a hand-to-hand fight and it's pretty good because obviously in this version Charlize Theron she can be hit like yeah, she's one strike away from being killed and it's sort of it's a good action sequence
Starting point is 01:07:44 I think but it's just I just didn't find it compelling. It's just a lot of people walking around. I don't know if they Thoroughly cut the budget on this one or what this the last one was five years ago. Yeah No, yeah is is is Dudley in this Dudley Moore? No, he died years ago He'd had a long time ago. No the dude who did Dudley they played Dudley Moore? No, he died years ago. He died a long time ago. No, the dude who did Dudley, Dudley Unchained. Yeah. Which is the same. It was in Harry Potter. Is this the same director? I don't think it is. I don't know, man. No, it isn't. Yeah, Dudley Moore died in 2002. No, in Plainfield, New Jersey. The kid who played Harry Potter's brother or whatever. I mean, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I'm never going to watch this. I did watch the Bear Season 3, which I know is not the current season of the bear. Oh,
Starting point is 01:08:28 yeah, that's right. Then I watched some of the best season four. So I'm just making my way through the bear and they're like, God, what are we doing? Making your way through the bear. Also, I haven't read this, but I bought it for my son. There's a Superman prequel novel. So this is a prequel to the movie. Yes. It's called Superman Welcome to the Metropolis by David Lumen Oh, yes And it's uh, it's about Clark Kent coming to the daily planet and some and you find a little bit about the universe and whatever And so forth. So uh, yeah, he's really loving that he's just working. I'm not gonna read it, but he likes it So you're not gonna read it at all ever not even after the movie comes out. Wow. It's a junior novelization. I'm a man So oh, this is a novelization. This isn't a cut. This isn't a comic. No, it's not a comic. Yeah
Starting point is 01:09:04 Novelization. Yeah, what are they thinking? It's not a lot nobody's turn me around I'm not like that's not the movie right equal not to prequel novel of the movie man So I'd be like reading a prequel to the Phantom Menace. Yeah, I did read I did read the death of Superman novel when it came out. Oh, yeah, how was it? Pretty good And then he got punched then he got punched exactly guy garden was like half damn Mm-hmm. That's nuts precisely. I should finish the old guard too. You don't have to I know But maybe it gets good. Remember you're the kind of guy now who doesn't you just don't that's true Okay, but I remember when I'm gonna read you the book
Starting point is 01:09:39 But when I talk about the TV show sugar, yeah, and all the reviews were like this is great stuff And there's a real good. This is a this is well. No, and all the reviews were like this is great stuff. Is a real good This is a this is well, no, it wasn't the worst They were like this is a great noir detective story or whatever, but and then upon watching the entire series It's like oh none of them finished it. Yeah, has nobody mentioned how bonkers it got at the end Maybe this is it maybe people like this is bad and boring, but they all stopped where I stopped Okay, and then maybe the back half is quite good. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Sorry, is Uma Thurman's character's name Discord? Yes. Like the servers of what? Yeah, okay. The discussion servers, yes. Here's the Wikipedia. Here's the last paragraph of the movie for you. Okay. I'm never going to do this.
Starting point is 01:10:18 No, I want to know how to end, man. You want me to tell you? No. You should watch it. I'm going to watch it. Okay, I won't tell you. And then I'll read it. We can all read it next week together. Make a note in your little Google calendar or whatever.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Okay, well. Mason, what are you up in terms of next segments though? Oh, I might have the letters segment. Did I read anything else? Probably not. I don't know. I must have done. I mean you're always busy. I'm always busy, aren't I? Busy and you're always whining. Yeah, always whining. I must have done a lot of whining that's certainly. Why don't I have more time? Yeah man. I have two stupid jobs. I deal with idiots. I deal with idiots 24 hours a day. That's why. Do you mean the listeners or do you mean me specifically? You the only guy in the room. Dude come on you don't have to be like that you could say something nice. I can't believe every day I have to deal with a guy with no mojo.
Starting point is 01:11:07 When I'm here bringing my mojo. I got plenty of mojo. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmed. They're doing nothing. One's moving. One is sort of, one's moving in a way like, like just sort of a hyperactive leg. Thank you. Yeah, I guess that is great. Thank you, Mason. I would have thought I'd watch more things. I guess we watched the movie Time Cop. Yeah, that's true. We did for work. Just to clarify. Yeah, that's just to go. It was for work. Oh, you know what I watched's just to clarify. It was forward. Oh, you know what I watched? I watched a... Because you know how YouTube just puts up free movies now?
Starting point is 01:11:49 It's just whatever. Just completely... I watched The Mechanic, which is a 1972 Charles Bronson movie. Not the new one. Not the Jason Statham movie. Is it the same guy? Kind of. Like, he's... this guy who does... He's got elaborate means of... I've got elaborate means. Exactly, of killing people. Of killing people.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Yeah. All right. Oh hello. Hello young man. Guys finished? All right. Well let's move to the next segment of the show but you have to play the theme song. I was going to say it's since 1972 but also it finishes young Jan Michael Vincent. I do like that segment from Rick and Morty.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Anyway, my kids are here. Say hi. Hi. Cool, good stuff. Good stuff. They've got it, don't they? They've got that thing that people have. They've got the stuff, they've got that mojo.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah, no. They've got kid mojo. I don't know if that's okay either. Okay. All right, segment. Should I play the thing? Yeah, let's do it. The classic one was,
Starting point is 01:12:42 Letters, oh letters, we love you. Do you like this song? This is what we do for work. Yeah, this is my literal job. What do you think? Embarrassing? That could stay in. Yeah. If you do want to reach the show, just do this. Send a Gmail. Oh, I thought you- To weeklyplanetpod.gmail.com. I thought you were miming it out. It's very bright in here. Thank you. Yeah, my daughter did that. Yeah, she adjusted the lights. Yeah, do you not like that? Because she doesn't like you. Yeah, I know. That's going up. You got to press it again. It's going to go back down. It's not a dimmer. That's off. That's the stuff. I don't like this. All right. We can do it in pitch darkness if you want.
Starting point is 01:13:25 I'm scared. Well that did nothing. No, you press it once, it goes on, just press it, it's a light, now hold it down and it will dim. See? No. It's literally doing it. Oh that's not bad.
Starting point is 01:13:39 This is good stuff. I'm glad you installed that. I didn't. Wow. So whoever built this did. Mason, or go into the Planet Broadcasting Great Mates group. That's right. And then just send a time there.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Every week there's a thread. It's sending time. What have you got? Oh, this is from Michael Crump. Michael Crump, great name. I agree. I agree. Hello from Michael Crump.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Sounds like a fake kid slang from a 90s movie written by a boomer. Absolutely. Disney Channel original movie about Michael Crump says... There's like a fake kid slang from a 90s movie written by a boomer. Absolutely. Disney Channel original movie about Michael Crump. And he's gone from middle school to high school and he's like, I'm going to be cool now. I'm Michael Crump. You know? I meant more just like a word. That's Crumpin'.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Oh yeah, then he falls into a bin. Yeah, he might have. Anyway, Michael Crump emails from the bin. Hello from South Carolina. With Superman flying into theaters next week, do you feel any sort of added pressure for the shows or reviews when an important movie comes out, whether that is because it brings a bump in listeners or because it is something you have been looking forward to? P.S. I'm trying to fit the phrase Christ on a Bike into my vocab, but it has not come
Starting point is 01:14:40 naturally with other Southern sayings. Just say it. Yeah, just say it. Just say it. That's from Michael Um, I recommend when we do Caravan of Garbage and it's a very specific type of thing like when we covered the When we covered for example the Snyder DC movies. Yes. It's like we got a really, you know, you want them to be good Yeah, yeah, but also like what do you say? Cuz you've already reviewed it Yeah, but also you're gonna bring in people who who do not necessarily watch these videos in the first place.
Starting point is 01:15:09 And you've got to be respectful of the idea that they are entertained by these movies or what have you. Totally. You know, and when we did the Adventures of Superman TV series from the 50s, I'm like, we better be, you know, us, but enjoyable for a kind of a silly show. But I'm like we got to be, we got to be bringing in some people from a different generation who do not necessarily come on the internet for like irony poisoned. Yes. You know, reviews of this sort of stuff just layer upon layer of irony and what have you. Inpenetrable jokes. Exactly. Yeah, but the good thing is that video got flagged for like suicide and nobody can find it now. of irony and what have you. Impenetrable jokes. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:45 But the good thing is that video got flagged for like suicide and nobody can find it now. So don't worry about it. No one's going to see that. Don't worry about it. Could have said anything. Could we add a bit to the end of the video that just said, well, maybe that just happened? Maybe it just happened to him. Maybe he's, you know.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Yeah. Maybe he flew up into space like the real Superman. He didn't. Something bad happened. Okay. Maybe his head just did that. Maybe his head just did that. I think for me it's yeah, the big, yeah, I remember, well, when we were like
Starting point is 01:16:11 Batman vs Superman, it's like, I want to get this kind of right. Not like have the right opinion. It's like, I want this. We know we have the right opinion. I know I got the right opinion. Yeah, I think so. But no, I wouldn't say it's not like stressful. No, no.
Starting point is 01:16:23 I think it's just like, I make sure I do my research. Like I've got notes, I know anything behind the scenes that might be relevant. And I make sure you've done your research by moments before we record going, did you look some stuff up? And you go, yes. Well, then my job is done. Yeah. Have I ever not?
Starting point is 01:16:39 I'm sure that's happened where you've gone, did I do this? No. One time I came over here specifically to do a caravan of garbage on a movie and I got here and I went oh I forgot to watch it so I just had to watch it in your like it and I just said what was that one no maybe it was a Godzilla movie or something yeah that did happen yeah and I'm like oh you watched half of it I just came to the door and I went I forgot to do the one thing I was here to do whoops well. So then you just hang out with your kids and I watched a movie by myself in a spare room and then...
Starting point is 01:17:10 The studio, Mason. Yeah, the studio. The studio space. Sorry, it is a studio space, isn't it? Thank you. It's got those lights that dim that you can't use. That's true. Cool.
Starting point is 01:17:18 This one, Matt LeBlanc. I don't know. Excuse me? Yeah. How are you doing? This is a kind of... How is he doing? How is he doing? He doing? Oh, is he doing seems all right? Is he shagadelic that doesn't say interesting presumably?
Starting point is 01:17:28 This is I think this is a comic book question. This is good for you. Okay, why Superman buff wouldn't his muscles atrophy on earth? It's a good question. I have an answer Well, yeah, I think it's I think it's just the solar radiation pumps up those cells. Yeah, I think that's what it is Yeah, probably. Yeah. Also, I think that's just the solar radiation. Pumps up those cells. Yeah, I think that's what it is. Yeah, probably, yeah. Also, I think that... And it looks better. Yeah, but I think Superman is a combination of super muscles and also... He works out.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Well, he works... I think it's super... Yeah, because he works, he lifts the sun or whatever. Yeah. You know. Or whatever. I think he's a... His power set is a combination of super muscles and some sort of energy field that lets him lift.
Starting point is 01:18:05 That's why he can lift an airliner without it collapsing. Or hold a building. Hold a building or something like that. But I think even if that part of his power set, like the energy field or whatever wasn't working, I think the super muscles are still super dense. Which doesn't explain why he doesn't weigh 10,000 pounds or whatever. If it was the boys, if he tried to lift a building up, it wouldn't work because of whatever. That's right.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Yeah. Yeah. Ooh. So that's what I think the answer is. But it's solar. Also, he probably does it, he probably has a Kryptonian gym. I know in like the guy that called Jim who helps him out. But there's in All Star Superman, it's in the movie and in the comic,
Starting point is 01:18:41 he does, there's that scientist who's got the that huge press the 200 quintillion ton press Yeah holding with one hand. Mmm. That's cool. That is cool. Yeah, what else you got Mason? I'm just from an email from a groove from an email from group the group group. Yep I loved you in minions to see I would do it in the voice, but I I don't know what the voice is I can only do it by accident by accident if I'm doing an impression of somebody else Yeah, something like that. So I won't try it. Yeah, good. I boys just wanted to thank you guys for the advice regarding YouTube copyright I had a video that I put a lot of time and effort into that had a claim on it really frustrated me I tried cutting out scenes. I was using and editing them now that I'd IDing but I just ended up butchering the video
Starting point is 01:19:20 I spent so long making and decided to just post it as it was originally because of your advice I was able to throw back the claim and get my video monetized. That's unreal. What's the video? Doesn't say. Oh man. Guess we'll just have to look up Gru on YouTube and hope it pops up. Gru. Yeah, it should be fine. We'll find that. It's probably like the third result. Yep. That's great. Glad we could help.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Me too. Or me. You didn't know. I didn't know anything. But I brought it to your attention. Yeah, you did. You brought it up. And therefore I'm the to your attention. You did, you brought it up. And therefore I'm the saviour of YouTube. This is Samuel William who says, do you find your job on focusing on pop culture media helps with the overall cynical nature of the world these days?
Starting point is 01:19:52 I can also imagine it feels a little odd sometimes to focus on superhero movies when there are so many scary real world issues being thrown in our phase 24 seven. I would say the majority of like stuff that I consume is that terrifying stuff in the world. Oh, like just waking up and having it shot into your brain. Yeah, exactly. And like listening to podcasts and like YouTubers and whatever and reading stuff that's terrifying. As we were talking about Jurassic World, I was hit with that idea of like, you know, and going into watching it, because I went in and there was a full cinema and etc. on a Sunday.
Starting point is 01:20:23 And I thought to myself, well, you know, it is a miracle that anything gets made at all. You've got to factor that in and a lot of people did work really hard on this sort of stuff. And a lot of just regular people go in and go, well, this was fun. I like all the new guys. That's the thing. Most people are just like, they don't see like, you know, a movie every week like we
Starting point is 01:20:39 do and multiple TV shows. So they'll go on the guys, all right? Yeah. And that's most people,. But where, you know, definitely more cynical because, you know, just like I've seen this fucking Jurassic, whatever. Yeah. You know, I know people who saw like Riser Skywalker, like normal people, and they're like, yes, lightsabers, whatever. Like that's most people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we should be normal. Maybe we should be normal people. I am normal around normal people. Yeah, same, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:06 I go full normal mode. People are like, what do you think of this movie? I'm like, it's alright. And that's it. You're not getting a real review out of me. You see me in the real world. That's right. You're not getting around me. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. People want to know as well. They're like, what do you think of this? I'm like, I don't want to talk to you about this.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Do they know that you do this? Yeah. Right. See, I often find people will not knowing I do this will ask me about a movie and I will always be like, what did you think of the movie? And then whatever they... You're great. I won't necessarily agree. Is that what you do here? Yeah. No, what I will, I'm gonna often go, you know, I will, I'm happy to disagree with them, but I'm, I'm not here to... Oh no, I'm not gonna wreck somebody's day. See, that's exactly it. If they, if they're like,... Oh no, I'm not gonna wreck somebody's day. Well see, that's exactly it.
Starting point is 01:21:45 If they're like, oh my God, I loved it. I'll find the one positive thing we said about it in our review, whatever it is. And I'll go, oh yeah, they were great sets. They did change a lot of tires in F1. That's right. God, I wasn't intense when they changed the tires. Dude, I couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 01:22:00 I liked his sweatshirt. You can't get it, they only made 50 of them. Well, what? Yeah. All for Brad Pitt. All for Brad Pitt. All for Brad Pitt? I don't know about that guy. And he just tore him up on the set.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Did he? Yeah, at the end of the show. Well, that's the worst thing he's ever done. I agree. I agree. I noticed how the PR started to turn down the movies. Like, like you watch those more think pieces, like, is Brad Pitt bad? Hey, you're a late man. The movie came out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Whatever. Yeah. But I mean, that also may and the movie came out. Whatever. Yeah. But I mean, that also may be like, people put those think pieces out or they said they were going to, or they reached out for his agent or his manager. Oh, totally. Yeah. And they said, if you publish this before F1 comes out, we will sue you for- We'll kill you.
Starting point is 01:22:38 We'll sue you for, I'm sure they can threaten to be like- Yeah, they can just tie them up legally for years if they want to. Like, we'll sue you for attempting to diminish the revenue of the movie or like, you know, this, this whatever, whatever they say the Brad Pitt type, those 50 shirts. Exactly. We're going to lose it. That's right. Any more letters Mason?
Starting point is 01:22:56 I bet I can find another letter. Why are you doing that? I'll just quickly do this from Connor Creehan. Yes. Han who says, what is the best dinosaur? I'm a triceratops man because it was the Zord of the blue Power Ranger and Blue is my favorite color. What about you? Ankylosaurus. Yeah, cuz it's got the I think we've talked about a big tail. Um, although I you know recently
Starting point is 01:23:14 Stegosaurus that's a classic. Stegosaurus is my favorite. Anything that was turned into a Dinobot is pretty good enough for you. I like the Stegosaurus cuz he's just minding his own business, but he's ready for battle. Oh I see right. And he's got a small brain, but like he's just minding his own business, but he's ready for battle. Oh, I see, right. And he's got a small brain, but like he's got the plates of some bite on the back. They're like, fuck! And he's got that tail with spikes. I hit him with that. They're like, fuck! That is good, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:33 Vegetarians, Stegosaurus? Vegetarians also, yeah. Love it. Favorite dinosaur. Ankylosaurus is probably a vegetarian. I would say so. Yes, it is. Very good. It's a good one, too. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:23:41 They're not dissimilar. Yeah. Weapons, tails. Nice. Looking after their backs. Mm-hmm, that's right. Those are good. Yeah. That's right. They're not dissimilar. Yeah. Weapons, tails. Nice. Looking after their backs. That's right. Is a good. Yeah. Small brains. Watching other people's backs. Watching other people's backs looking out. That's right. Good looking out. Probably best friends. Probably. Probably best friends. They probably have the same agent. Probably in a group chat together. Probably in a group chat together. Hey, what have you been up
Starting point is 01:23:59 to? Oh man, some guy tried to attack my back. Yeah, but you know, I got the back thing. Yeah, we're the back bros. The group chat's called the back bros. Great stuff. It's always back day, you know? It's gotta be. Yeah, that's right. Here's an email from Jamie. Jamie, Kennedy?
Starting point is 01:24:16 Yep. It says, red light shenanigans. Hello boys, last night I stopped at a red light and overheard some familiar Aussie voices. I'm in the UK by the way. Was it us in the car? After, no. After rolling down my window, I identifiedie voices. I'm in the UK by the way. Was it us in the car? After, no. After rolling down my window, I identified the voices as yourselves coming from the next car over.
Starting point is 01:24:29 I got his attention and proceeded to say, hey, I'm guessing you're another bloke whose dick doesn't work. Judging by his reaction, I don't think he heard Sunday's episode about your audience being a bunch of blokes whose dicks don't work. Hey man. You suddenly rolled his window back up and drove away. Thanks for that fellas from Ted. Ted? Jamie?
Starting point is 01:24:44 I think this story's made up, but I thought it was I mean what's going on here, you know what I mean? Yeah, are you Jamie or are you Ted? Are you Ted and you're using Jamie's email? What's going on there? Did you kill Jamie and take over his email? Did you inherit his email? Was it the car? Was it the car? Maybe the car is called Ted or Jamie. Oh, I meant he just took over the guy in the car. Oh, maybe yeah. Stole his life. Maybe. Yeah, wow, it's something to think about though. I meant he just took over the guy in the car. Oh, maybe, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Stole his life. Maybe. Yeah, wow. It's something to think about, though. Hmm. Wow, man. Here's one more email from Natalie. Natalie Portman?
Starting point is 01:25:09 Yes, it's Natalie Portman. I think we've answered this before, but I think it's worth mentioning again.
